TOI. “wall street women” may very well be committed to a career. It does not mean they are not committed to their family. People juggle many commitments quite successfully. My main objection to the OP (or her friend) is the very broad brush used to swipe whole groups of people with one quick stroke. i dont understand how “they”. why dont “those who”…
The newest volume of Igros Moshe has an interesting teshuva about Touro College for Women. It is the every last teshuva in the hashkafa section (right before the teshuvos of his brother R’ Mordechai Z’l). Lest I be accused of misquoting or misinterpreting, I suggest the OP (and her friend) read it for themselves.
